This Paper Presents a Classification System for Managing and Indexing Hardcopy Engineering Drawings, Referred to, in this Paper, as Drawings Library Management System (DLMS), Developed for an Appropriate Technology Research Centre in Botswana. the System Is Akin to Common Library Cataloguing and Classification Systems such as the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), Universal Decimal Classification and Others, which, though Are Well-Known and Have Been around for many Years, Are yet to Be Exploited for the Classification and Management of Paper Drawings. in Fact, Hardcopy Drawings Appear to Be Neglected Compared to the Softcopy Type, for which Various Scholarly Articles Have Been Done on their Classification, Retrieval and Management. this Is Unfortunate as, Invariably, it Is Hardcopy/paper Drawings that Are Mostly Used in Production, Especially in Developing Countries where the Power of CAD/CAM Is yet to Be Fully Harnessed. Accordingly, the DLMS, a Model Successfully Used in a Research Centre in Botswana for over Ten Years Is Proposed.The System Was Further Analysed against and Compared to Three Main Library Classification Systems, Namely, the Dewey Decimal, the Universal Decimal and the Library of Congress Systems. Results Show that the DLMS Is a Better Classification System for Managing Hardcopy Drawings.

Purpose The study aims to explore the classification of electronic games in Dewey decimal classification (DDC) and The Library of Congress classification (LCC) schemes. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a comparative analytical method to explore the topic in both the DDC and the LCC schemes by comparing its processing method in both schemes. The study measures the extent to which both schemes succeed in allocating notations covering the topic’s literature. Findings The study reached several results, the most important of which are: the difference between the two main cognitive sections, to which they belong to the topic, namely, arts and recreation (700) in the DDC scheme and the geography section (G) in the LCC scheme, while they were found to share the same sub-section scheme. The two schemes do not allocate notations to address the subject of electronic games as literature and other notations that have not been embodied for electronic games themselves or in the form of a compact disc or other media. Originality/value As far as we know, this is the first paper that compares the treatment of video games in DDC and Library of Congress classification schemes. The study allows for understanding the difference in the treatment of topics in both schemes, which would help in the decision of the adoption of a particular classification scheme.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a model for automated classification of old digitised texts to the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), using machine-learning methods.Design/methodology/approachThe general research approach is inherent to design science research, in which the problem of UDC assignment of the old, digitised texts is addressed by developing a machine-learning classification model. A corpus of 70,000 scholarly texts, fully bibliographically processed by librarians, was used to train and test the model, which was used for classification of old texts on a corpus of 200,000 items. Human experts evaluated the performance of the model.FindingsResults suggest that machine-learning models can correctly assign the UDC at some level for almost any scholarly text. Furthermore, the model can be recommended for the UDC assignment of older texts. Ten librarians corroborated this on 150 randomly selected texts.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitations of this study were unavailability of labelled older texts and the limited availability of librarians.Practical implicationsThe classification model can provide a recommendation to the librarians during their classification work; furthermore, it can be implemented as an add-on to full-text search in the library databases.Social implicationsThe proposed methodology supports librarians by recommending UDC classifiers, thus saving time in their daily work. By automatically classifying older texts, digital libraries can provide a better user experience by enabling structured searches. These contribute to making knowledge more widely available and useable.Originality/valueThese findings contribute to the field of automated classification of bibliographical information with the usage of full texts, especially in cases in which the texts are old, unstructured and in which archaic language and vocabulary are used.

RESUMO A dinâmica e a emergência de novos conhecimentos exige que se construam novos sistemas de organização de conhecimento e se revejam outros, para a sua localização e acesso. Nesse processo, as estruturas de organização do conhecimento assumem particular relevância como instrumentos eficazes de efetuar esses propósitos. Pela sua longevidade, destacam-se as classificações bibliográficas, entre as quais a Classificação Decimal de Dewey (CDD) e a Classificação Decimal Universal (CDU). Propõe-se como objetivo identificar como esses dois sistemas representam o conceito mulher e se tal pode ser considerado indicador de duas perspetivas sobre o mesmo conceito. Adotou-se uma abordagem qualitativa exploratória, baseada na revisão da literatura e análise comparativa da representação desse conceito nos dois sistemas considerados. Não se observam duas perspetivas diferentes em relação ao conceito mulher, os dois sistemas continuam a traduzir a mentalidade positivista na qual foram concebidas. É evidente a reduzida representatividade do conceito mulher nos dois sistemas de classificação no que se refere à exaustividade e à especificidade. Os dois sistemas refletem a noção de mulher num plano depreciativo e inferior à masculina, traduzindo o estereótipo tradicional.Palavras-chave: Mulher; Classificação Decimal Dewey (CDD); Classificação Decimal Universal (CDU).ABSTRACT The dynamics and emergence of new knowledge requires building new knowledge organization systems and reviewing others for the location and access of knowledege. In this process the structures of knowledge organization assume particular relevance, as effective instruments to accomplish these purposes. For its longevity, the bibliographical classifications stand out and among them particularly the Dewey Decimal Classification (CDD) and the Universal Decimal Classification (CDU). It is proposed to identify how these two systems represent the concept of woman and whether this can be considered as an indicator of two perspectives on the same concept. A qualitative exploratory approach was adopted, based on literature review and comparative analysis of the representation of this concept in the two systems considered. Two different perspectives are not observed in relation to the woman’s concept, because the two systems continue to translate the positivist mentality in which they were conceived. The low representativeness of the concept of woman in the two classification systems is evident with regard to exhaustivity and specificity. Both systems reflect the notion of woman in a depreciative and inferior plan to the masculine, translating the traditional stereotype.Keywords: Woman; Dewey Decimal Classification; Universal Decimal Classification.

Decimal Classification

The second edition of the Bliss Classification (BC2) is a faceted classification scheme which reworks the original Bliss Classification, devised a century ago. It compares favourably in terms of its wealth of detail, the fineness of its analysis, its flexibility and the conciseness of its notation with its main rivals, the Library of Congress Classification, the Dewey Decimal Classification and the Universal Decimal Classification. The Art class, W, is one of the most detailed and best organised of the BC2 schedules, with the caveat that the author did not find the giving of priority to place over period and the listing of individual artists separately from their periods and places to be the most helpful arrangement. However, room is left for alternative arrangements within the scheme.

Straipsnyje aptariamos naujausios bibliotekų metaduomenų modelių ir struktūrų, tarp jų – IFLA standartų „Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records“ (FRBR) („Funkciniai reikalavimai bibliografiniams įrašams“), „Functional Requirements for Authority Data“ (FRAD) („Funkciniai reikalavimai autoritetiniams duomenims“) ir „Interna­tional Standard Bibliographic Description“ (ISBD) („Tarptautinis standartinis bibliografinis aprašas“) kartu su juos palaikančia infrastruktūra pateikimo semantiniame saityne iniciatyvos. FRBR peržiūros grupė, pasitelkdama RDF, RDF schemą (RDF Schema – RDFS), Paprastą žinių organizavimo sistemą (Simple Knowledge Organization System – SKOS) ir Saityno ontologijų kalbą (Web Ontology Language – OWL), šiuo metu rengia FRAD bei FRBR entiteto ir santykio modelio pateiktis „Išteklių aprašo modeliu“ (Resource Description Framework – RDF) grindžiamoms taikomosioms programoms, atitinkamais atvejais nustatydama abiejų modelių sankirtas. ISBD/XML tyrimų grupė tiria ISBD pateikimo RDF galimybes. Pagal IFLA Vardų erdvių projektą kuriama administracinė ir techninė infrastruktūra, kuri padėtų įgyvendinti šias iniciatyvas ir skatintų kitas tarnybas perimti šiuos standartus. Straipsnyje apibūdinamos ir panašios tokių susijusių išorinių standartų, kaip RDA, REICAT (naujosios Italų kata­logavimo taisyklės) ir CIDOC CRM, iniciatyvos. DCMI RDA laikina darbo grupė kartu su RDA jungtiniu vykdomuoju komitetu rengia su FRBR ir FRAD suderintas RDA struktūrinių elementų semantinio saityno pateiktis ir kontroliuoja­mus metaduomenų turinio žodynus. REICAT irgi grindžiamos FRBR, o į objektą orientuota FRBR versija susieta su CRM, kuris, savo ruožtu, pateikiamas RDF. CRM būtinumas iš pradžių buvo grindžiamas muziejų bendruomenei skirtų metaduomenų reikalingumu: dabar siekiama jį pritaikyti ir archyvams, galiausiai sukuriant modelį, kuris būtų bendras visoms pagrindinėms kultūros informacijos sritims: archyvams, bibliotekoms ir muziejams. Žodynų sutapties schemos (Vocabulary Mapping Framework – VMF) projekto metu sukurta semantinio saityno priemonė, automatiškai nustatanti skirtingų informacijos bendruomenių, įskaitant leidėjus, metaduomenų modelių sankirtas. Priemonės pagrindą sudaro keletas standartų, tarp kurių - CRM, FRAD, FRBR, MARC2I ir RDA. Straipsnyje aptariama šių iniciatyvų svarba, susijusi su gausių turtingų profesionaliai sukurtų minėtus standartus ati­tinkančiais formatais (pvz., UNIMARC ir MARC2I) saugomų metaduomenų pateikimu kaip susietų duomenų, taip pat su tokiomis problemomis, kaip statistinėms ir semantinėms išvadoms daryti būtina kritinė masė, integravimas su vartotojų ir kompiuterių kuriamais metaduomenimis, autentiškumas, teisingumas bei patikimumas. Straipsnyje aptariamos ir iniciaty­vos, kuriomis siekiama kaip susietus duomenis teikti kontroliuojamiems žodynams, tokiems kaip Dewey dešimtainė klasifi­kacija (Dewey Decimal Classification – DDC), ISBD, Kongreso bibliotekos vardų autoritetinis failas (Library of Congress Name Authority File – LCNAF), Kongreso bibliotekos dalykinės rubrikos (Library of Congress Subject Headings – LCSH), Rameau (Prancūzų dalykinės rubrikos). Universalioji dešimtainė klasifikacija (Universal Decimal Classification – UDC) ir Virtualus tarptautinis autoritetinis failas (Virtual Authority File – VIAF). Ir, galiausiai, straipsnyje aptariama galima visų šių iniciatyvų įtaka metaduomenų kūrimo procesams ir jų valdymo sistemoms.

Classification systems are published primarily in the book form, for various purposes and in different versions. They are identified by the number or year of publication. The authors propose another variant of maintaining classification systems, i.e. in the card format.The authors discuss the issues of presenting classification schedules of popular classification systems on the Internet with special focus on their applications. They explain why privately owned classification systems, like Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), are not published on the Internet, while the systems supported by government organizations (e.g. national libraries) are traditionally published openly. The authors provide the example of the Library of Congress Classification (LCC), which is the United States’ National Classification System and which is published on open access. The project of the open presentation of the Library-Bibliographical Classification (LBC) in several versions supplemented with indices on the website of the Russian State Library (RSL) is described in more detail. The possibilities for their use are analyzed.
